An increased collaboration between individuals, projects and institutions, catalyzes the preservation and
proliferation of valuable datasets that describe how organisms interact. Hopefully, efforts like the TDWG Species Interaction Data Group will
result in a more integrated approach to incorporating available structured data records into the corpus of
biodiversity knowledge. As GloBI continues to monitor and index these valuable records, we can verify that this
knowledge is alive and accessible. While GloBI has played a role in continued access to semi-dormant datasets (e.g.,
SPIRE, Nordic Saproxylic Database), other original data sources like Kelp Forest (also see this issue) and the
Ecological Database of World's Insect Pathogens
seem to have dropped off the face of the planet. Luckily, Sarah E Miller was able to transcribe and archive the latter
before it went offline. However, as far as I know, the Kelp Forest data remains inaccessible and might be lost forever.

Got an interaction dataset you'd like to preserve and/or make searchable?
